I was sooooooo surprised and encouraged by one of the students. This last Friday at a Good News Club something cool happened :) Why surprised and encouraged ? Sometimes we think a student is not paying attention to what is being taught, there rambunctious in there seat, messing with the kid in the seat next to them, staring at the sealing........ LOL. I asked the students if they remembered what happened in our Missionary Story the previous week. A student I assumed really didn't pay attention, gave his answer out loud and it was spot on, I mean really spot on. I was like holy cow, I let him know he did a great job. I guess you never no what is truly taking root in a child's heart and mind- Surprised and Encouraged.

The Local Director of the Siouxland Chapter was able to share at a church today this important foundation verse of the ministry of Child Evangelism Fellowship. These important words of our Lord has led to children all over the world being invited to come to Jesus.

An estimated 3.6 billion people — 44% of the world’s population — have yet to hear the Gospel. Yet according to Project42, only 29% of Christians view reaching the world’s unreached as a “very urgent” priority.

Check out this article to see what CEF is doing to help answer these questions, from Romans 10:14 The article is a little alarming and encouraging. I encourage everyone to think and pray about how God may use you to see these numbers change.

What a great truth to reflect on as we celebrate Labor Day. Please pray this verse for the ministry of CEF of Iowa as we begin Good News Clubs to reach boys and girls with the Good News of Jesus. We would not be able to reach the boys and girls without your prayers and your willingness to go out into the harvest field.

What did kids learn day 4 and 5 at 5 Day Club?

Memory Verse: but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 ESV

Day 4
This amazing truth was presented to the children. The saved child was encouraged to praise God for His goodness in making a way of salvation. They can praise Him by obeying His commands and by sharing this Good News with others. The unsaved child was encourages to accept Christ's amazing gift by believing on Him for salvation from sin. They were encouraged to be turned around by the Lord Jesus Christ and start living for Him.

Day 5
The truths from Romans 5:8 were reenforced. The unsaved child was reminded how to receive the Savior so they may be turned around! The saved child was reminded of the importance of sharing the Good News with others.

What did kids learn day 3 at 5 Day Club

Memory Verse: For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

Ephesians 2:8 will be reviewed and verse 9 added. Gods saving grace was emphasized and the children where reminded that good works can never earn salvation. They where taught all have sinned and because of that sin all are separated from God until He takes away our sin when we trust Christ as our Savior.

What did kids learn day 2 at 5-Day Club?

Memory Verse: "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God," Ephesians 2:8

The kids learned about God's amazing kindness. It is only by God's grace that anyone can be saved from sin. He offers this grace to all people everywhere. They cannot receive it by working but only through faith in the Lord Jesus, who died on the cross to pay the penalty for sin. What a great privilege to tell children on how to receive this gift.
